Montoya touted his transparency efforts in a letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley while responding to questions the Iowa Republican asked about 14 unpublished IG reports revealed by TheDCNF. Montoya told the Senate Committee on the Judiciary chairman that there are circumstances when his office withholds its reports.

“This agency actually takes the additional step of transparency by placing all documents on our public facing [Freedom of Information Act] reading room that receive three or more requests,” Montoya wrote. “We do this for the sake of transparency.” With an annual budget of nearly $49 billion, HUD has 8,375 employees.
